Get User Agent (Browser) in Webdynpro 7.01

[Former Member]

Hello Community,

Some time ago, I already asked this question. Then, we were on NW04. That was the Thread: [Old Thread|;

The solution to retrieve the User-Agent was:

HttpServletRequest request =((IWebContextAdapter) WDWebContextAdapter.getWebContextAdapter()).getHttpServletRequest();

Now, "IWebContextAdapter" does not work anymore. So I'm in need of another solution. The suggestion of

HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest)WDProtocolAdapter.getProtocolAdapter().getRequestObject();
String value = request.getHeader("<Param Name>");

in the old thread still throws a "ClassCastException".

I have also found this Thread: [Other Thread|;

But here the suggestion is

HttpServletRequest request = WDProtocolAdapter.getProtocolAdapter().getRequestObject().getProtocolRequest();	  
String userAgent = request.getHeader("User-Agent");

what doesn't work, because it seems, there is no method "getProtocolRequest()".

I'd be glad, if anyone would suggest a working way of how to retrieve the User Agent in webdynpro NW 7.0 EHP 1 SPS 04.

Thank you very much,

Best regards,

Christian

Hi Christian,

Can you try using this line of code. You can directly get the value of the request object using this.

WDProtocolAdapter.getProtocolAdapter().getRequestObject().getParameter("parameter_name");

// There is getParameterMap() method in which you can know what all parameters are available to be captured.
Map parameterMap =   WDProtocolAdapter.getProtocolAdapter().getRequestObject().getParameterMap();

I hope this helps.

Thanks and Regards,

Pravesh

Hi Pravesh,

Well, this way, I can gat parameters, that were submitted as POST or GET Parameters. What I need is the HTP Header Info about the USER-Agent, to switch between output for IE and Firefox. But thanks for this answer.

Best regards,

Christian
